Vista lil 9albèn (Retourner Sa Veste). 2010
Mixed media on chair
47 x 78 cm
Nadia Jelassi's work Vista lil 9albèn (Retourner Sa Veste/To Switch Sides) comes from the solo exhibition, "En rupture d’assise (Breaking with the Seat)," at the Kanvas Art Gallery in October 2010. The exhibition’s theme was the chair, which could symbolize power. The artist removed the chair’s seat and then played with its back. The artwork presented here warns of the behavior of certain Tunisians who collaborated with the previous regime and who hurried to "switch sides" after the revolution.
